My cousin is cleaning out his parents' house; Aunt Peggy and Uncle Aubrey were packrats--they never, EVER threw ANYTHING away.  They weren't quite hoarders, but very close.  In any case, he sent me a bunch of photographs he though I might be interested in.  I've scanned some of them and uploaded them to FB.  The one link is to a bunch of my annual school photographs, but to my junior year in high school.  The other is to a portrait of me and my parents taken my senior year in high school and another taken of me in Kuwait.

In Kuwait at the time there was an import duty on ready-to-wear clothing, but not on fabric; hence, it was often cheaper to buy some fabric and take it to a seamstress or tailor to have made up.  I saw the design in an Italian fashion magazine and took it to a little Indian man and said, "Can you make this for me?"  And he did. 

Unfortunately, a few years after coming back, I started working out more and bulked out in he chest and shoulders, and couldn't wear it any more.
